ROUTE 66 MEETS HIGHWAY 1
The open road has always been a beacon leading to limitless possibility and our wildest dreams. But one place at the end of the proverbial Yellow Brick Road glitters like no other: the surf and sand of Los Angeles. Join MUSE/IQUE for a shot of inspiration as we travel north to south and east to west along Route 66 and Highway 1 with music from The Beach Boys and Led Zeppelin to Tracy Chapman and Willie Nelson, and more. This soaring performance features Rebecca Naomi Jones, Kenton Chen, and The DC6 Singers Collective on vocals and the MUSE/IQUE orchestra!
